Aluminum truck cap
Couldn’t find an early cap/shell for my 48 so I built one

Re: Aluminum truck cap
Yes a few. Started life as a modern shell . Stripped down to frame … modified frame to fit the 48 then laid the aluminum skin on.

Re: Aluminum truck cap
Very nice!!
I love campershells :-) Especially when they’re homemade! Fits the truck really well, period correct I would say.

Re: Aluminum truck cap
yeah, nice work. now, if you were planning to actually camp in there, you may need a slide away sunroof from a modern car with power slide. a buddy of mine installed one in his houseboat (home made, more like a kids plathouse he repurposed onto a deck sitting on 45 gallon drums strapped up underneath, lol.) and would fish through the sunroof under the shade of being indoors, haha.
